House: Chick a Dee Smoke Detector

The Chick-a-Dee Smoke alarm is a stylish and quirky new smoke alarm in the shape of the cute American Black-capped Chickadee perched on its branch. Like any smoke alarm, the Chick-a-Dee smoke detector is easily fitted to the ceiling. It boasts an impressive 1.5-year battery lifetime, as soon as smoke is detected an 85 db alarm signal is activated.

The Chick-a-Dee can be tested by pressing the test button.

Kitchen: Bottle Opener and Resealer

Opens a bottle then glides over the top and makes a tight seal to keep beers from going flat or spilling. Perfect for bottles sized for more than one sitting. Made in Germany

This bottle opener can be used to open any crown cap bottle, ranging from a standard twelve-ounce beer to larger twenty-four or even forty ounce bottles. In the event that a twist off cap becomes stuck or impossible to open, it can even be used to pry those caps as well.

The resealing function is what sets this gadget apart and can also be used for a wide range of pop-cap bottles. One simply flips over the implement and, using the metal guides to grip the rim at the top of the bottle, slides the rubbery panel over the opening to ensure a tight seal over the beverage — preventing the contents from going stale or spilling when turned on its side. Hermetus Bottle Opener and Resealer $8.00

Home: Cloth Extension Cords

Extension cords you won’t want to hide. We didn’t aim to reinvent the wheel, we just wanted to dress it up in some some new duds.

Cloth covered extension cords are woven in Massachusetts using three copper wires, each stranded and covered in PVC insulation. The wires are twisted together, padded, and braided with a durable cotton weave. Cords are then assembled in New York using solid brass plug blades that are set in a rubber plug (which will resist chemicals and stay flexible in extremely low temperatures). These extension cords are recommended to be used in the home and shop for small appliances. $38.00 each.
